So what you're saying is:

Go to work, and play around with it myself until it "fits".

I've ridden the bike with a 140mm -10 (which was nucking futs) and drops. I'd ride it like that on the track, but the decreased visibility in traffic wasn't worth it. And I've mostly ridden it with the 60 with both bullhorns and risers. It all depends on what ride qualities I'm aiming for. I have leg extension and knee angle all perfectly dialed in, along with saddle tilt and fore-aft position. And all of those did change slightly and were corrected when I played around with the 140mm stem.



Now tell me again that this bike (minus the joke HED3 and plus a few minor part tweaks) doesn't fit me.
